Check out this group on the BBC community - http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a199215/teaching_your_baby_and_toddler_to_sleep. Their welcome page has information on a variety of sleep training techniques. You should pick the one that you are most comfortable with and that works for your baby. Once you've picked a plan, stick with it for a while to see if it works. Most babies seem to start showing improvement in 3-7 days. There are also lots of mamas on there to help you get started with sleep training.

Mine slept in a cradle by me until about 4 or 5 months, we tried co sleeping and she would spin circles and roll around in bed and didnt seem comfortable so we transitioned to a crib slowly and patiently. Put the cradle in the nursery at night to sleep then naps in the crib and cradle in nursery at night then all sleeping in crib, we went through phases tho, a week or two here and there she would wake up multiple times but I just was patient got back on a routine before bed (what ever works for you) then gradually increased the time before I would respond to her waking and fussing and sometimes crying but I never let her go more than 5 min before reassuring her in her crib, picking her up if she seemed stressed. All I can say is patience and try anything you think will work for you and your baby, they are all wonderfully different good luck and hang in there, it will get better!

Mine slept in the cradle next to the bed until 9 months then began co-sleeping with me. Each kid is different. I had never planned on co-sleeping, but he literally screamed him self sick if he was not right by me.
